Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!

[Stoked]

Jazz could legit end up a higher seed, in an improved conference, in a much improved division and after losing their two leading scorers as opposed to last year.

Let that sink in.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Time to set their sights on the three seed. Wouldn’t be bad to just overcome the Thunder for home court in the playoffs. . . but man, what a story that’d make to climb from 9 below .500 on January 23rd up to the three seed in the West.

Where are we after we beat Sac? 5th?

Can't ****ing wait for the playoffs!

Meetup alert!

Through great defense and unselfish play on offense. Very 2004 Pistons-like. The parallels are pretty damn interesting tbh.

Really unlikely with only 12 games left. Portland would have to have a total collapse. 4th would be amazing.

I agree, but the Blazers do have 10 games left against teams either currently in or just outside the playoffs to finish the season. Including a four game road trip towards the end of the season. If it’s close, that last game is going to be a huge matchup.

Not super excited about drawing OKC vs. some of the others, but I think interesting matchups are Royce on George and Crowder on Carmelo. We’ve contained Westbrook pretty good this year, haven’t we?

I want the Wolves for the story-lines. Rubio vs his old team.

I want 4, and Minnesota at 5. Rubio will have even more motivation.

We got them. Porty and OKC are good and tough but we can do it. It’s the playoffs... no one is an easy out for us.

Healthy Minnesota scares me more.

That would be awesome! I kind of want the wolves to fall out while Rubio makes the playoffs for the first time.
